[Gaming] New Record: DiRT3 Kenton Descent (1:17.405)

Using as an excuse to fire up the game. Now that I have Adobe Premiere CS6, I'm currently working on creating a template as well as finding a desirable balance between video quality and file size through the export settings. Strangely enough, I'm unsure why the video off DiRT isn't as clear as Street Fighter or Need for Speed. It may be because I had ended up compressing an already compressed video through the editor in Game Capture HD. Will see if I was right next time I record.

[Diecast, Carded] Another Haul. Call for Blog Layout Changes.

There's a bit of stuff to share and announce. As you may have noticed, I've changed the layout. I'm thinking of swapping out those image links on the right hand side and moving them on the left in the form of text links to look much more concise. I also wasn't digging how far apart the images were separated by default and I'm unsure if I can change that via HTML. But anyway, I figured a directory looks more intuitive if if wasn't on the right-hand side so I'll stick with this to see how it goes.


That aside, I've been cleaning up my card collection, and updating my inventory with my records since it's been a while. Looks like there's quite a bit to do. Discovered cards I haven't recorded and some that are no longer available cards just to name a few. Then there's the need to update the overwhelmingly large Customs log. That's been needing an update for a while now! While I'll be working on that, here's the new haul to gander at for the time being.

 Both long over-due. Been meaning to uncard these hatchbacks since day 1. It was purchased with the intention of applying a custom rally livery. I just haven't gotten there yet.

 Yay! Now if I'm lucky, I'll be able to find the London Bus.

Up for trade. If it's not gone after a certain point, it's going towards a custom.

Also up for trade. Will include in a lot if it's not gone after a certain point.

Randomly found this 2009 card at Square One. Really baffled how a random old card just shows up like that. Not big on the F430 Spider casting, but it's up for trade never the less.

SRT Viper GTS. For 82 cents, of course I'd nab it.. to put it in a lot in the future.

Oh that's right, I used a different backdrop sheet this time. I like this because  don't need to leave room for the "AOS" text on the left. This works as a better watermarking anyway.

 '70 Chevy Chevelle SS.

Really digging the modified chassis. I love how the rear wheels aren't size 2 and the Gulf livery of course. Mattel should invest their money into this chassis rather than the previous if you ask me.

 '62 Chevy Corvette. 

Like the colour, don't like the size 2s in the back. It also gives it the impression the wheelbase is too short. Will definitely wheelswap to fix this.

Opening up the possible error.

Nissan Skyline R34

Rear light tampos are horrid but the colour scheme is great.

Surfin' School Bus.

Love the graffiti. Swapping those wheels without hesitation. Someone hid this 2 peg columns down where the Ballistix were. Took it anyway. Finding Hot Wheels is like finding nuts for squirrels; you better hide it good or else!

[Diecast] The Zac Box - Part 1

Stuff came in. Photos got taken. The queue list of customs just keeps growing. Chance of insanity goes up. Post gets made.

Got a bunch of neat looking Motor Maxes and Johnny Lightnings. Except they rock some funky wheels I'm not that fond of. Will save these, everything you see carded, the Firebird and the bag of LW wheels for future customs.

First Editions Austin Healey 100

Chevy Avalanche (Blings)

Ford Fiesta (Team HW)

Datsun 240Z (Holidays)

 Also forgot to post this one from last time.

Because the 10pack I bought had one, I now have an extra carded.
